Koombana Bay - Bunbury

Beaches

Bunbury is a major commercial centre
south of Perth, positioned on a bump in the
coastline before the land swings around
to Cape Naturaliste. That bump contains
Koombana Bay, featuring a popular swimming
beach and the Dolphin Discovery Centre. Up
to 100 wild bottlenose dolphins have been
visiting the bay for almost two decades, and
come close to shore a couple of times a day,
most reliably in the mornings. You can snorkel
alongside them under ranger guidance, or
take a dolphin-spotting cruise.
